Is there a cap on sick leave?

Q: Is there a cap on how much sick leave can be applied to calculating a pension? Is there a 2,087-hour limit?

A: No, there isn’t any cap on how many hours of unused sick leave can be applied when calculating an annuity. However, for the time being, Federal Employees Retirement System employees will only get credit for one-half of their total hours, while Civil Service Retirement System employees will continue to get full credit.
